a new direction

the events of the past few days have forced me to rethink and reprioritise my life- i will need the next few days to sort my thoughts out, and sit down and rediscover myself. first and foremost, i need to use my passion to want to study medicine to drive away my laziness and procrastinating ability, and infuse in me a sense of urgency and a purposeful determination. i sincerely hope that this drive stays with me, and is not just a fleeting response to this last week.

i have had this blog since 2005 and i’ve neither taken to writing regularly nor formally. i think i want to use my blog henceforth as a channel for me to express my views and opinions about anything and everything; i will continue to be random and eclectic but i want to write posts of more substance. i do not know where or how to begin but i am sure that i will get into the habit of writing well and more than occasionally. i want to get to a stage where i can confidently tell people that i have a blog that i would like them to read and spread the word about- perhaps even in applications to higher institutions? i am going to reinvent myself so let us see how this goes..
